OK,so it was illegal but not that dangerous as we had CB radios. I would assume, but it’s not always the case, that any driver looks both left and right before pulling out into any road.
If the road had lots of driveways (built up area) we didn’t overtake.
The leading driver would give details of any dangers and when it was safe(r). If you’re driving without taking account of thing outside the tarmac zone, you need to rethink your driving! 😈
We were driveing slightly prepared cars (mine 1760cc Ford, Webbers goFaster stripes etc) and passing people who were going significantly slower.
It wasn’t wild uncontrolled hooliganism, it was fast controlled driving with risk assessment and some interesting driving.
It is probably more likely that someone could drive significantly more dangerously while following the law, which would go some way to contributing to the tragic figures dd mentioned.
As you weren’t there you can only speculate, so there’s no real issue, is there? 😀
